Miami is one of the best, if not the best big city in America. It's the culture of New York with the beautiful people and money of LA mixed with killer weather and the party vide of Mardi Gras with a Latin flavor. In short, who wouldn't leave that shithole Eugene to go rule Miiami?
Eugene, a piss break on the way to a better place.
This is a very good and accurate post. Objectively speaking.
That said, we must remember it's not for everybody. Think about some of our brothers here who have to live in shit hole places like Sedro Woolley, Everett, Castle Rock, Battleground ... and Canada.
A lot of dudes lack the requisite confidence, and frankly the swarthy'ness, to compete in a town like Miami. If one is missing the superior Cuban DNA, one is already at a distinct disadvantage. It takes big @Ballz to make it in my hometown. It's not for everybody. It's LA, but with a NY temperament of aggression, and withering humidity that makes pussies from out west melt.
We have to remember there are coaches who, like our less confident brothers, prefer being out in the middle of butt fuck nowhere so that they have some semblance of a chance to compete for T&A and the other good things life has to offer.
We have to remember that. Eugene and Sedro and Everett and Marysville and Castlerock and Battleground and Vancoover and Rochester and Pulltab and Spookanne are all essentially the same fucking place, and there is a good % of people who want to be in those places and hide from the world.
I was in Miami last January, in a polo shirt and shorts because it was 77 degrees, and I rolled up to my destination in the Epic Hotel right on the Biscayne Bay. As I arrived I noticed leggy hispanic beauties exiting a Lambo, Ferrari 458 and a 911 GT3, all at the same fucking tim, at the valet. Get inside the joint, and am immediately offered a top shelf cigar and a Cuba Libre, at 11AM on a Thursday. Go out on the veranda and hot chicks in bikini tops are dancing on yacht decks going up and down the canal. Did I mention it was 11AM on a Thursday? Oh, and not to Tug it out, but there wasn't a mask in sight. Just hot bodied women in lycra as far as the eye could see.
My self talk was, "is this heaven?"
Imho, Miami is as good as it gets in big city 'Murica.
I babymooned at that hotel. It was not Epic.
You didn't like the Hotel? I never stayed at the Epic. I always stay at the JW across the street. Sometimes they hook me up with suite, which is nice. Just go to the Boutique there but it always seemed nice. The never ending stream of Lambos, 911s and G-Wagons tells me the money there is extreme.
It's more than likely that half of those exotics are being driven poser influencers renting them for a couple days. A lot of the exotic car sales are propped up by rental business models.
You might be correct actually. Come to think of it, maybe I need to go rent an exotic!
edit: Just did some reading on the exotic car market. Turns out the only people benefitting from this aren't just the IG toolboxes who want to look rich but actually aren't. There is a large segment of people who buy exotics and then rent them out to other people (AirBNB style) because they really can't afford them so they loan out their $200K car to idiots to go tear up on the weekends and help them cover the payment. In both cases it's pathetic. You can either afford a super car or you can't. If you can't enjoy your shitbox until you can. So many posers in everything now. ATBS going to rent my first exotic on Friday!
Turo is the Airbnb of the rental car market. I’ve used it in Hawaii so I don’t look like every other tourist on the island.
I've been to Miami twice. Wifey and I flew into Miami for a cruise for our honeymoon. Spent one night in Miami before the cruise and 3 nights afterwards. Extremely cool city, especially for November when you're in your 20's. Did the stereotypical stuff beaches, restaurants, nightlife etc.
Like Johnny Nansen Miami doesn't sleep but it does pass out on occasion (h/t @GrundleStiltzkin).
Took the kids to Miami with pops this summer for a completely different trip, hit up the three south Florida national parks. Also very cool in a totally different way. Did very little in the city. But Miami's not unlike Seattle in that there's cool outdoorsy shit complete with wildlife and where you can get away from the masses completely extremely close to the big city. Not sure what other big US cities really compare other than maybe Honolulu and Vegas.
Obviously the outdoorsy shit is different different than Seattle outdoorsy shit.

Yep all kinds of cool shit. You can also cross the peninsula to Naples where the really well heeled play. Tons of golf, kayaking, national parks, gators and as previously mentioned some of the best open ocean fishing anywhere. Coupler that with the nightlife, women, food and culture in the city and Miami is pretty well perfect. Oh yeah, great cigars hand rolled right in Little Havana and some of the purest best cocaine you'll ever get. Miami has it all.

The exotic car game in Miami is a pretty good comp for the city, overall. Lots of fake people. Pass.
Oregon is a better job but Cristobal is severely under paid on a deal he signed last year. Things change.
Someone could put 9 million in front of him
The six-year, $27 million contract will run through the 2025 season and is funded through private athletic gifts. Cristobal’s salary will increase from approximately $2.7 million to $4.3 million in January, and the Ducks coach will earn an average of $4.55 million during the term.
He has been preaching for months that Cristobal would never leave Oregon.
The thing is, Mario is a complete sleazebag, as many football coaches are. He may be among the sleaziest. Duck fans have convinced themselves that he is this righteous, saint-like molder of men who has fallen in love with the local small town football community that has embraced him.
When it vomes to the whole "is UW in a better situation with Mario there than who they might get?" conversation, there's a simple answer for me. I want him to leave and I want it to be in the sleaziest way possibly because I want to witness the meltdown.

That book was so depressing. So many simple fuck ups that cost 3 lives.

I'm not saying

someone says 'come do the same job for $7mm a year*' then you do it.
*not sayin he's worth that but still.
I could easily see him getting jettisoned part way into next season and meat being the hot n heavy candidate for replacement.
Same difference, different retard.
If he wins Friday they may face that this year or next
